What you’re looking at

This page contains three separate humor pieces with no visible cartoons or illustrations—it's purely text-based content. The first anecdote mocks a new hired hand named Pete who behaves like the pigs he tends. After attempting to court Nelson's daughter Tillie at a dinner, his poor manners and boorish behavior ("acted like a pig") end any romantic prospects. The second brief passage offers biblical consolation to readers. The third piece, "Those Inquisitive Aussies," reports an anecdote from an Australian editor about a woman visiting Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. She asks an attendant whether wax figures of historical queens wear undergarments. His reply jokes that Australians are the only visitors crude enough to ask such questions, playing on stereotypes of Australian soldiers as uncouth.
